My dad found this years ago when someone was throwing it away. He didn't know if it worked or not, but thought it was cool. I decided to take it out and see if it worked and if it didn't work I would try and restore it. Obviously it didn't or I wouldn't have made a video.
You could probably say that this restoration video is more of a glorified deep clean, but whatever.

Sue's hubby here! I have watched your video's, the slot machine, this one, the 'janky go-cart' and many other's. Safe to say that, in my six years of watching loads of restoration sites and other videos, i cannot remember sooo many springs and split pins being used, as used in the slot machine vid! Well done to you for ALL the video's you have done, please keep up the very good work that you do, it is a real pleasure watching you restore things that look like, SOME times beyond redemption!

Finally, a restoration video that does just that, restore a tool to its original working condition. I got bored watching other channel videos that go to no end in buffing and polishing all parts to a mirror finish, worthy of being displayed in a museum and not a working tool.

A light cleanup with fine grit emery paper would have helped restore them. Just a light rub to make them smooth on the surface to help nice sliding in the groove.

Hello. I did an Impactool similar to yours. I got it for my personal use. The top part of the tool where it has a spring in it, was very hard to remove. I almost gave up on removing it, until I watched your video. Without your video I couldn’t have done it. Thank you for that. I would like my channel to be like yours and educational so others can learn, just like me. I shared your link in my video so others can check out your video, I hope you don’t mind. Thank you for sharing and what a great job. Cheers.

This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell

When I used to work on I/R's and CP's in the mid-90s. I would horn out the air cylinder with an engine cylinder horner to give it a good cross-hatch on it. Made it work as good as new if not better for the vanes to hold air better. Never seen a 504 before. I can't find it in I/R's archives it's so old. The closest I could find was a 5040. A piece of advice you should never spin a dry bearing. The largest one I ever rebuilt was something like a Model 3955 1 1/2" or 2 1/2" I don't remember which used to open and close train fright car doors. So big and heavy you had to move it on its own hand truck.

I have an old IR aircraft impact riveter. It's missing the tailpiece (the connection to the airhose in the bottom of the handle and I think there's also an adjustment knob). I can't find a picture of what that part even looks like so i can search for one. Any suggestions?

You did a very good job; in fact much better than I could have done-but I would call this "refurbishing" a tool vs a "restoration" namely due to the fact that refurbishing is more of a repair of something not working, whereas a restoration brings something back to as close to new as possible, both in function and how it looks. Again, good job.

I’m really enjoying your content, keep it up! Try out using a double sided rubber mallet instead of the sledge. You’ll have better control, and less risk of damage to your tools and hands! Lol, it’s great for these sorts of things, you can put more force behind it as well since you don’t have to worry about jacking things up if you over strike or anything like that. Hopefully it helps man, and best of luck on future renos!
